ABSTRACT
Objective To describe the feat ures of Balo′s concentric sclerosis o n MRI and ~1?H-MRS. Methods Three patients of Balo′s concen tric sclerosis were rep orted on the basis of brain MRI and stereotactic brain biopsy. Proton MR spectro scopy was carried out on 1 patient. Results Multiple ring-li ke lesions of lam inated demyelination alternating with spared white matter were demonstrated in a ll 3 patients, and the lesions were best seen in post-contrast images. ~1 ?H-MR S showed a decreased NAA peak, an increased choline peak, and the presence of la rge lipid peak. Conclusion Balo′s concentric sclerosis has cha racteristic findi ngs on MRI and ~1?H-MRS. MRI is very useful in the diagnosis of Balo′s c oncentric sclerosis.
